What is the use of adrenaline?

We used to associate adrenaline with extreme sports, but in everyday life of the average person it plays a big role. The use of adrenaline is colossal. This hormone encourages us to action, makes us perform impulsive or emotional actions, protects. But let's start in order.

When there is an adrenaline rush?

The release of adrenaline into the blood occurs not only in extreme situations, as many people know, but also in everyday situations. For example:

• Stressful situations at work;
• Quarreling;
• Aggression from other people;
• Hot arguments;
• Critical situations requiring quick response or solution.

In short, any situations where there is a threat to our life, the adoption of important decisions for our existence and other similar challenges are accompanied by adrenaline emissions into the blood.

What is the harm and benefit of releasing adrenaline into the blood?

Nature has not in vain invented such a hormone. It serves as an activator of the body's internal reserves. If a person falls into a stressful situation, there is an adrenaline rush that promotes:

• Increased response;
• Increase in muscle tone due to narrowing of blood vessels and redirection of blood to the heart and the main muscle groups, lungs;
• Increase of mental abilities due to additional blood flow;
• Expansion of the airways for better oxygen supply;
• Significant increase in pain threshold.

Adrenaline (also epinephrine) is a product of evolution, designed to give a person a chance to defeat the danger by mobilizing all the important resources of the body for a short time. During the period of adrenaline rush, energy consumption greatly increases, especially during the period after the incident: the feeling of hunger increases sharply, emptiness, inhibition of reaction appears.

Despite the speed, strength and other positive points that the hormone gives us, do not forget that its surplus will not end well. If the body, or more precisely the adrenal gland, is artificially provoked to produce adrenaline, in the end result one can get kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases, depression or even stomach ulcers.

Epinephrine Emissions: Symptoms

With a sudden release of adrenaline into the blood, the following symptoms appear in a person:

• Respiration is increasing;
• Increased heart rate;
• I want to act;
• Lack of rest;
• Irritation;
• Impulsiveness.

It is very important that when he receives the hormone, he is consumed somewhere. If there is no physical action or energy expenditure during the allocation of epinephrine, irritability, a need to throw out emotions, is manifested.

How to control the release of adrenaline

Rarely, but there are cases (in some systematic) of an uncontrolled increase in epinephrine in the blood. As a result, so-called panic attacks can occur. To avoid this, you need to be able to clearly understand the language of your body and when you feel the symptoms of epinephrine in the blood, do the following:

Sit down or take a horizontal position;

With measured deep sighs, calm your breathing and stabilize your pulse;

Think of something good. Remember that nothing terrible happens;

In a couple of minutes (sooner or later, it's individual), epinephrine will dissolve in the blood and cease to function.

Probably, without this important hormone, mankind could not survive, because in critical situations it helps people make the right, quick decisions, increase strength and dexterity in order to protect themselves, but like everything in the world you need to know the measure and not expose your body to excessive exposure to extreme situations designed to stimulate the release of adrenaline or drugs containing hormone.
